Great food at good prices. Don't plan on a wine list since they have 3 wines in a box but otherwise good beer and great per pound prices for the local critters.

Food was delicious. Great prices. We enjoyed the boiled shrimp and potatos. The fried pickles were the best. Service was also great.

You will not leave hungry and if you do you don't like sea food or cajun... My son got his face painted and a balloon animal. They do this on Monday's for family fun... My husband and I have no complaints about this place at all....

Delicious, informal, pleasant, with extended hours. I loved Cajun Critters and I'll definitely go back if ever in the area again!

The char-grilled oysters were very good and the boiled crabs were full but the service was terrible. We ordered an appetizer and three dinners. First, one dinner was brought out (really?!). About 5 minutes later the other two dinners were brought out with the appetizer. Had to go to the bar to get our silverware and had to track down... More

We are locals and we haven't eaten here lately, but it is a nice place to soak up some local color and get a little taste of authentic Cajun food. If you are lucky you might even make it on live music night and you'll be even more lucky if our brother's band is there.

The food was OK but we were not impressed. Try the fresh onion rings-should have stopped there. We had fried seafood but there is a complete boiled menu. Sevice is great and help is very friendly. We would give Critters a second chance.

A fun place to eat. It was kind of busy (noisy) inside, so we ate on the patio. The weather was perfect. We had oysters (huge) and crawfish (very tasty).

At this casual, inexpensive bar and restaurant, we had the best food of our brief trip to Acadiana. Impeccably fresh fish simply and beautifully cooked. We had the boiled crawfish and shrimp, which couldn't have been better and is seldom so good, and the fried crayfish, shrimp, and catfish, also very good. Order the potato salad, which is real Dixie... More
